I would like to see a real war happen someday XD Possibly several guilds siding on opposite sides of something, and a climatic charge in the middle of a field. XD Hmm, I better respond to a NNPC now XD The only way I would see that happening if the Ancient Guilds started up a war, and the current guilds had to intervene or something... Hm... Now there's an idea. Maybe some of the Ancient Guilds would try to work together to "take back" their guilds and the NTWF as a whole... Ooh, I think I might get carried away with thinking about this. XD The question is, would the Ninjas work with or against the Pirates  |

That being said, I've already figured out how I'm going to introduce my characters in the next GW. x3 I won't say anything about it for several months until we actually start it, though. We've got enough mini-RPs to wrap up right now. |

True, I had a number of plans that shifted majorly XD I didn't really plan on being taken over by the Underdeep at all XD I also planned to stick with the Pirates more in the RP  Edit: The power of youth. Edit2: Meet the Ninja Blacksmith. |

He steps into the room full of all sorts of weapons that range from small barbed jacks to something only Kovaran or something equally as strong could use. There were even a few items that looked like they belonged in other guilds in case they were needed for a disguise (or just personal liking). Fun fact: historical ninjas never actually looked like ninjas. That's why they were ninjas. A ninja was disguised as everyone else around him: townspeople, village workers, guards, anything the mission entailed. The weapons came with that, of course. The whole point was that you could never tell that a ninja was a ninja until the point where you suddenly could, and then it was too late. The whole black-pajamas thing was made famous by theatre, because stage workers were clad all in black with concealed faces so as to change props on the stage and the audience was used to seeing them around and had sort of mentally dismissed them to the point of never noticing them on stage. Which made an in-story ninja very effective if it snuck around all in black among the unnoticed stage workers and then suddenly went and stabbitied a nobleman. *is your friendly local infodumpster of the guilds* =D |

One of these days I'll get down a song to the tune of "I've Got A Little List". I'm not even a Gilbert and Sullivan fan; what's up with me?! Good to hear someone else was amused! =D *bows* He steps into the room full of all sorts of weapons that range from small barbed jacks to something only Kovaran or something equally as strong could use.

Now I'm not sure. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!??!?!111one *brick'd* |

I mean, ninjas were basically oriental James Bonds with less ladykilling - unless it was literal ladykilling - and more mysticism. Which meant that they had missions, usually from noblemen or the government or whoever needed some enemy castle infiltrated. Whereas you lot have always been an independent entity doing your own thing, which is... what, exactly? By definition, you can't really be a ninja if you don't have a boss who gives you ninja work. (Yeah, this is my "what's the purpose of your guild?" question all over again, but I never got a good answer to that question anyway.) |

Well it doesn't help that our boss is dead and no one decided on who will lead it in the guild world yet....
As in what do the ninjas do normally? Watch over the NTWF and protect it from the shadows. Go on random missions from time to time (which is why I personally don't have any problems with mercs, since the ninjas do it every now and then themselves).
As for not hiding it. Most of us don't need to hide it, because we aren't wearing traditional ninja gear that makes us stand out XD

Maybe it's a debated topic among the mages, and neither side can agree!
Gelquie promises to erase any illuminations she does to her writings before she turns her papers in. Unless they rub her the wrong way.

Well, I guess it'd be up to the individual, I guess? Drakhé sure wouldn't. He'd be too busy throwing chairs at people.

This should be interesting to see how other guilds are going to follow the pirates if they sail off XD At least I can think of several ideas to follow, and to get information (even though ninjas don't need a reason to follow suspicious pirates ). |
